Former genius painter Lin Wan, in order to save her seriously ill mother, entered the place she least wanted to set foot in - the art empire "Yujing Gallery" controlled by her ex-lover Shen Yu. **
What he held tightly in his arms was the painting "Starfall", the last token of their passionate love and broken ideals. Now, it has become his only bargaining chip in exchange for life-saving money.
The reunion was as cold as a knife. Shen Yu, the now all-powerful young curator, no longer has the tenderness in his eyes, only disdain and unwillingness for Lin Wan's "betrayal of art" and becoming a commercial painter. He was heart-wrenching every word, trampling on Lin Wan's embarrassment and dignity: "Finally willing to sell your 'last feelings'? Can commercial illustrations support your 'art dream'?"
The humiliation eroded his bones, but Lin Wan could not reveal the truth. He silently suffered the accusation of "art traitor", allowing Shen Yu to put "Star Drop" on the auction block, and witnessed it being sold by a mysterious collector at a sky-high price.
When the check is received, relief and bitterness are mixed. Shen Yu's sarcasm followed him everywhere, until Lin Wan handed over a note——
"The painting is fake (fake). But when it was painted, the star hidden inside was real. The money was used to treat her mother's illness."
The shocking reversal exploded!
Only then did Shen Yu realize that what he had spent a huge sum of money to buy was actually a super high-end fake that had been painstakingly copied by the "Degenerate" whom he had personally stamped! And the ex-lover who was humiliated by his meanness and believed that he only wanted money, was silently carrying the heavy sacrifice of risking everything for his loved ones and the sincerity that has never been extinguished.
He used a fake painting to make a life-saving bet. And the person who hated his "degeneration" the most became the most ironic and critical buyer in this huge gamble.
The painting is a fake, but how to value the heavy sincerity and sacrifice? When his pride is crushed by the truth, how should Shen Yu face this belated shock and regret that can subvert everything?
